Determining your belt length

Classic men's belts are traditionally closed in the third hole of the belt. Accordingly, the belt length always refers to the distance between the outer edge of the buckle and the third hole of the leather strap, also known as the closing length. This distance should be the same as the width of your trouser waistband.

Tip: Belts from Heinrich Dinkelacker can be shortened quickly and easily. First remove the buckle's screw-fastening and adjust the belt length to your liking. Afterwards, you can reattach the buckle.

Meticulously Sewn-Welted
Sewn-welted shoes are distinguished by their narrow heel construction. The front of the heel is stitched from the inside out, and the heel is nailed into place.

Completely Handcrafted Each pair of shoes goes through 300 work steps, from cutting the leather to applying the finishing touches. The result: a work of the utmost handcrafted perfection.
